Access Issue: Seasonal Raptor Closures
Details
Please be aware of the annual raptor seasonal closures!
Raptor Closures Effective February 1-July 31
Visit: jeffco.us/open-space/news/2…
Tunnel 1 closure
For more details visit: jeffco.us/open-space/alerts…
The two areas Jefferson County Open Space intends to close in Clear Creek Canyon, shown on the attached maps, encompass the active eagle nests. If the Clear Creek eagles continue to nest in the active nests, these areas will remain closed from February 1 through July 31. If the eagles choose different nesting sites, the closures will be adjusted accordingly to protect those eagles during their breeding season.
Currently, rock climbing areas that fall inside of the seasonal raptor closures include:
Blonde Formation
Bumbling Stock
Evil Area
Ghost Crag
Highlander
Skinny Legs
Stumbling Block
Tetanus Garden
Fault Caves

Description
I thought this was the most interesting and fun route in the cluster of 5.10 routes (most a little soft for the grade) left-center at Graveyard.
A few wonky lieback, stem, and face moves in a right-facing corner lead to a classic lieback section.
Rest up at the ledge just after halfway before tackling the gym-like headwall.
I thought the crux was at the top of the headwall near the last clip. Slightly runout but easy scrambling leads to the anchors (quicklinks and chains).
